About This Book

A critique of systems theory that explores why large systems fail and how they behave unexpectedly. It introduces Gall's Law, stating that complex systems must evolve from simple working systems rather than being designed from scratch. The book provides humorous yet practical axioms for navigating the complexities and pitfalls of modern organizations.
